Fishermen’s Delight-Barramundi Fishing in Australia

Barramundi
Australia is fishermen’s delight and fishing Barramundi is one of the favorite past time of Australian fishermen. Barramundi is the most sought after trophy fish that keeps fighting till the end. 

You can see the fish alongside your boat when you are on Exmouth fishing trip with its beautiful scales glowing in the Australian sun. The country has a reputation of having some of the biggest Barramundi in the entire world. 

Barra (nick name for Barramundi) is one of the most hard to pin down sports fish for an angler but once hooked it is a terrific eating fish. Lates Calcarifer more commonly known as barra has other names too like the giant perch or palmer perch. 

Exmouth fishing
The barra holds an interesting story as they all start their life cycle as males and it takes them around three to four years to mature. They require brackish or salt water to change their gender and at around the age of fie the male barra changes the gender and becomes a female. These females lay eggs and under the right circumstances they hatch within 20 hours and grow rapidly. They can grow up to 1.8 meters and weigh up to 60 kilograms. If you catch a fish that is over 80 cm in size it is most likely to be a female. 

The legal catch size of a barra is more than 55 cms in most states and if a fish is less than 55 cms in length and over 80 cms it must be released.

Relax, Rejuvenate & Rewards-Corporate Fishing Trips

Working in a corporate environment can be quite taxing, dealing with client stress, trying to stay at the top of your game, working as a team and so much more. One has to be always prepared for giving their best at all times.

Corporate Fishing Trips

With working for almost 10 to 12 hours a day and even more if you’re in a senior position it becomes very important to take a break every now and then. This is how the idea of corporate trips started. It offers a great opportunity for employees to get away from everyday routine work and get to know each other better in a more relaxed environment. Often such trips are paid by the company as they usually fulfill some business purpose too.

Corporate Fishing Trips are a great way to revitalize the employees and make them work as a team. While some employees can help out in planning the excursion, others can set up the fishing gear and assist the beginners in fishing Barramundi and other big fishes.Everyone gets a chance to communicate and get to know 
their colleagues and even the management better.

Barramundi

Not only for relaxation, but fishing trips can be a great way to celebrate success or accomplishment of the company or its employees. The sales team with highest results or the most efficient department or a good deal achieved by the work team can be celebrated and rewarded by taking them out for a fishing trip. The trip can be posed as a motivation for them to work diligently and provide better results.

Know A Way to Have the Most Exciting Fishing Tours

Are you ready to have the best and most exciting of all Fishing tours in your life? Australia is the place that you are looking for. It has many islands which are unexplored and hence a treat for the guests who come there. One of the best island areas are the Northern Territory Fishing Trips. These islands are not only beautiful but also offer a variety of fish which is very difficult to find in other places.

                                                                         
Some of the most known places in the Northern Territory are the Bullo River Station, the Jarbu Lodge, The Bamurru Plains, and many more. These fishing places are mostly open throughout the year but there are some times of the year when you will find a better variety of fish than other times. The facilities that the tour packages on these islands offer are very homely and comfort giving. This is a great benefit when you come back from the fishing adventure, tired and all you can do is sit back and relax.

                                                
One of the advantages you can have in these islands is booking your own fishing boat and going out on your own or with a guide and explore the places which not many people go to. At times you can have a 4-7 day fishing tour away from the base island in a boat on a shared basis. The rates per night of the hotel are very reasonable in comparison to the facilities they are offering. In fact even the local people are very warm and friendly with most people ready to help you when you ask for it. The Northern Territory fishing trips will expose you to rare fish like the barramundi, the Jewfish, the Crayfish, mega size GT’s Mackerel and many more varieties which are a guests delight.

Lesson Learnt the Natural Way on a Fishing Trip


fishing Mothership

Nature is the most natural way for me to rejuvenate and de stress. It makes me feel lighter and prepares me to face the unknown with more strength.It is a healer in more ways than one.Every time I visit a place in natural surroundings it teaches me to see things more positively.

There is this special place that is close to my heart because this is where I learnt to see things in a greater light.I try to visit this place every year to gain more strength.

Bonefish

I had gone on a fishing Mothership with a couple of my buddies and I learnt a lot of lessons.I used to be a pessimist kind and find fault in everything.I didn’t even spare the Bonefish that we were fishing.

But as they say, whatever wrong you do or say it comes back to you,it actually does and I saw it with my own eyes.It wasn’t a big thing but I learnt a lesson of a lifetime.I was pointing out everybody’s weaknesses and making fun of it.My friends told me to stop it but I just carried on with the silly talks. That’s when a big fish hit the boat and I was caught off guard.

Bonefish

Though it was a small incident but it changed my perception of seeing negatives.I realized that though a fish is small compared to the boat but even it has the strength to shake up things.Likewise a person however s/he is from the outside,their inner strength is enough for them to face hardships.

My Revolutionary Fishing Tour Experience

I am a very careful traveler as I have had pretty uncommon experiences on my travel trips. So, whenever my family or friends plan for a weekend outing I try to get away from it. But this time my office colleagues were planning for a Northern Territory fishing trips and I have always wanted to visit this place for fishing.

So, after careful planning and packing I was ready for this Fishing tours experience. But what an experience! I never thought that one trip would change my entire perspective about travelling and so many other things.

I was apprehensive when we first set off and was still worried till we began with the fishing tour, but, all my anxiety and apprehension transformed in to fun and pleasure when I stepped on the boat. It was like a magical feeling that had enveloped me in itself. The beautiful water and weather made me feel so light that I completely forgot about my anxiety.

But the best part of this whole experience was when I caught a huge fish and then let it free. I felt as if a part of me that was always scared has freed itself from inside. Nobody could see any change in me from the outside but I could feel the revolution that was going inside.

It was a new beginning for me and that too much needed. I could never have thought that just one experience could change your entire perspectives but it did happen for me and I am truly grateful for it.
